Western Tropical Astrology is a study of our Psychology based on the position of Sun and planets in the 12 Signs, mapped onto the Ecliptic Plane according to the Earth's Cyclical Relationship to the Sun. Thats it.
Sidereal Astrology works with astronomical accuracy. Yes, according to this we have 13 Signs and soon a 14th Sign, Orion will come. This technique also speaks of a Secondary Zodiac using constellations that lie above these 13-14 Signs.
Does this work? In a way, yes. According to the exhaustive research of Robet Blashke, this Sidereal Chart shows the completion of Karmic Contracts. It also "flavours" the Tropical Sign, especially the Moon Sign which is quite sensitive to the exact Star.
But does it describe the psychology of a person accurately?
No. Is it harmonious? No. Can it describe houses? No.
The peerless Linda Goodman was the most blunt of astrologers [and people]. 'Act first, think later' was her motto. She proved this all her life. She hated admitting her mistakes, was broke many times yet managed to make money. She always took the initiative, even fighting openly and bravely with authorities who claimed her daughter Sally had committed suicide. She bravely and openly took a very young lover. A perfect description of an Aries woman. In fact, her chart shows an Aries Ascendant and Aries Sun.
As per Sidereal Astrology, she would be "a secretive, introverted, quiet, psychic, telepathic, victimized, manipulated, self-sacrificing" Double Pisces.
12 Signs.
12 Houses.
6 Visible Ruling Planets.
Total = 30, for 30 degrees of each Sign.
4 Cardinals.
4 Fixed.
4 Mutable.
6 Active and 6 Passive.
3 Fire
3 Earth
3 Air
3 Water
Such symmetry, such balance and such harmony.
It is this symmetry that allows the sextile aspect of 60 degrees, the Square aspect of 90 degrees and the Trine aspect of 120 degrees to work so accurately in relationships and transits.
The 13 Sign System would tear everything apart into a mess.
No aspect can work, no precise boundary can be set. There will be twice more Virgos than Scorpios.
If Sidereal Astrology were accurate, my friend with 0.0 Leo as Ascendant should not be talking about how great he is for most of every party he attends, showing off his Leonine locks. He should be a quiet Cancerian mouse worrying about the stock that has lost 0.2% in value last week.
Tropical Astrology empowers every individual to know himself or herself with perfect precision. Let us not fall for the distractions of jealous astronomers [with afflicted charts :) ]
